Morning guys! Just thought I'd give you guys an update on Ike.
We're still here at home, I actually just woke up
but all is good so far. We're hunkered down here in our upstairs apartment waiting for the storm to hit. All classes have been called of for all schools in our area, and mom stayed home from work last night and she will stay home tonight too.
The scariest thing is what's happening on Galveston Island, (our beach) which is about an hour away from us, they waves are HUGE!! and the storm hasn't even come through yet! It's just some of the very outter winds that are kicking up the waves so much. The streets are already flooding with the water from the gulf, and a lot of the beach homes are already getting water inside of them. They're saying they will be very little left when the storm is over. It's scary to think about that. I've always loved Galveston, and have some of my favorite memories from spending time with my family there, and spending late nights on the beach with a bon fire.
It will be so sad if there is that much destruction on the island, but it will be what it will be, we have no control of what Ike will do.
The good thing is, that in our area that we live in, there is no water around us. and our building is kind of wedged between another 2 buildings, so even if the wind is strong, we won't feel much of it.
Ok, hope I didn't scare anyone
but Just wanted to give an update, as of now, all is good in the Tracy home, and we're praying it stays that way
So far everything here is fine, you'd have no idea a storm is even coming, but we're ready for it. We have pleanty of supplies in the house already for when the last strorm was supposed to come through, but I'm heading to the store to pick up a few more things, If anything is left
NC and SC hit the national news yesterday! Why us I don't understand! Most gas stations in our town are out of gas because of yesterday!!!! 
Many stations were even rationing. It was scary!
